End of First Week

It has already almost been a week since I have been here in Bonn. I know this trip is going to go by fast, so I am trying to enjoy it as much as I possibly can! Tomorrow some of us are leaving for Amsterdam. After a little scare at the train station, mainly due to a language barrier, the ten of us booked a reservation on the train. Personally, I never believed that lady behind the counter who said the five or six trains from Köln to Amsterdam tomorrow were all booked.

Anyways, I met a nice old lady at the train stop today who liked to talk but once she found out I was from Texas, automatically brought up the Bush family. I thought that was a little weird, but understandable, now I guess Texas will always bring up an immediate negative image because of Bush, at least in Europe. This place is just a little too liberal for me, I don´t mind their ideas, they just really enjoy bashing anything conservative....

And.... I ate a schnitzel sandwich today! It was kind of like chicken fried steak, but pork.
